Commissioner Denise Grant officially presented a proclamation to the Jamaican Men of Florida (JMOF) for their dedication to community service at the Lauderhill Commission meeting on April 8.

The JMOF was established in 2020 to foster a sense of community and brotherhood among Jamaican men in Florida. The organisation has made a significant impact through various initiatives, including providing scholarships, feeding the homeless, donating to charities, and hosting youth and community building workshops.

Commissioner Grant recognised the JMOF’s commitment to empowerment, service, and community building, and honoured their contributions to the City of Lauderhill.

She acknowledged the significant presence of Jamaican men within the community, with a significant portion of the population claiming Jamaican heritage.

Notable individuals such as Robert Sighn, Everton Hanson, and Kirk Lawrence were also recognised for their contributions to the city.

The proclamation celebrates the JMOF’s achievements and looks forward to continued collaboration in building a stronger, more vibrant community for all.

Commissioner Grant said that recognition of the organisation’s efforts serves as a testament to the positive impact they have had on the community.
